COME BACK TO ME caught the eye on his latest start and is taken to land the opener at the expense of Baaher and Ballabrook. The selection travels from his native Ireland once again having run well to finish second at Cartmel on his latest run. James Lambe has had a good summer this year sending out plenty of winners and this should be another to add to that tally. Baaher performed with credit on the level without winning. He has however continued to improve with every run over hurdles and it will not be too long before he breaks his maiden tag. Ballabrook ran a couple of decent races in the past but is starting to look a little frustrating to follow. He is becoming exposed now as moderate so should be treated with caution. Come Back To Me is the form pick on paper and is the percentage call.
